with结构是许多英语复合结构中最常用的一种。学好它对学好复合宾语结构、不定式复合结构、动名词复合结构和独立主格结构均能起很重要的作用。
一、 with结构的构成
它是由介词with或without+复合结构构成,复合结构作介词with或without的复合宾语,复合宾语中第一部分宾语由名词或代词充当,第二部分补足语由形容词、副词、介词短语、动词不定式或分词充当,分词可以是现在分词,也可以是过去分词。With结构构成方式如下:
1. with或without-名词/代词+形容词;
2. with或without-名词/代词+副词;
3. with或without-名词/代词+介词短语;
4. with或without-名词/代词 +动词不定式;
5. with或without-名词/代词 +分词。
下面分别举例:
1、She came into the room,with her nose red because of cold.(with+名词+形容词,作伴随状语)
2、With the meal over, we all went home.(with+名词+副词,作时间状语)
3、The master was walking up and down with the ruler under his arm。(with+名词+介词短语,作伴随状语。)
4、He could not finish it without me to help him.(without+代词 +不定式,作条件状语)
5、She fell asleep with the light on.(with+名词+现在分词,作伴随状语)
二、with结构的用法
with是介词,其意义颇多,一时难掌握。为帮助大家理清头绪,以教材中的句子为例,进行分类,并配以简单的解释。在句子中with结构多数充当状语,表示行为方式,伴随情况、时间、原因或条件(详见上述例句)。
1. 带着,牵着…… (表动作特征)。如:
Run with the kite like this.
2. 附加、附带着……(表事物特征)。如:
A glass of apple juice, two glasses of coke, two hamburgers with potato chips, rice and fish.
3. 和…… (某人)一起。
a. 跟某人一起(居住、吃、喝、玩、交谈……) 。如:
Now I am in China with my parents.
Sometimes we go out to eat with our friends.
He / She's talking with a friend.
b. 跟go, come 连用,有 "加入"到某方的意思。如:
Do you want to come with me?
4. 和play一起构成短语动词play
with 意为"玩耍……,玩弄……" 如:
Two boys are playing with their yo-yos.
5. 与help 一起构成 help...with...句式,意为"帮助 (某人) 做 (某事)"。如:
On Monday and Wednesday, he helps his friends with their English.
6. 表示面部神情,有“含着……,带着……” 如:
"I'm late for school," said Sun Yang, with tears in his eyes.
7. 表示 "用……" 如:
You play it with your feet.
What do the farmers do with your machines?
8. 表示 "对……, 关于……"。如:
What's wrong with it?
There's something wrong with my computer.
三、with结构的特点
1. with结构由介词with或without+复合结构构成。复合结构中第一部分与第二部分语法上是宾语和宾语补足语关系,而在逻辑上,却具有主谓关系,也就是说,可以用第一部分作主语,第二部分作谓语,构成一个句子。例如:
With him taken care of,we felt quite relieved.(欣慰)→(He was taken good care of.)
